God this has been hard watching so far... Slow in attack... getting the ball wide occasionally and then not putting any kind of decent cross in and going long to Benteke who wins the header and there is no player within 20 yards of him.. How was Collocini not sent off for a 2 footed lunge earlier btw.. ref gave nothing
Guardian: "Coloccini dives two-footed into Ibe and yet escapes with just a stern talking to. How odd." #bbcsalford don't even mention it
Our passing has been atrocious. So many times the final pass has been too short, or too far away. I've noticed a lot than even simple passes to our full backs with no one around either of them, the ball has gone slowly to them and directly at them, rather than 5 yards ahead of the space so they have to stop and wait for the ball rather than actually keep moving into the space available.
Lucas.. had a shocker today. First 2 minutes he kicked it out under no pressure... did exactly the same just now. Turned back instead of pushing it out wide... slowed it down and whacked it out. Although he might have seen us wanting to bring Sturridge & Lallana on so thought it was worth putting it out.
